Even though it was released in 2016, Stardew Valley remains one of the top-grossing farming sims in 2023. Among the multitude of activities available, tending to various crops for cooking, crafting, or selling remains a primary focus for players. Take, for example, the delightful and visually appealing 
Red Cabbage . It is a vegetable crop that reaches maturity in 9 days.
Growing it can be both enjoyable and rewarding, but it requires Red Cabbage seeds. Typically, these seeds become available in Year Two of Stardew Valley, though acquiring them in Year One is indeed possible. Here's a guide on obtaining Red Cabbage seeds to cultivate this vibrant crop in Stardew Valley.
Getting Red Cabbage in Stardew
Red Cabbage is primarily used in salads and coleslaws in Stardew Valley. Normally, it's a crop that can be bought or cultivated during Summer, starting in Year Two. Nevertheless, obtaining it in Year One is also possible. Here's how to acquire Red Cabbage seeds:
Red Cabbage in Year Two
Unlike most items in Stardew Valley, Red Cabbage can’t be acquired by foraging. Therefore, the only way to get hands on Red Cabbage is by purchasing its seeds.
Red Cabbage Seeds become available for purchase from Pierre's General Store for 100g starting from Year Two.
Additionally, during the Night Market Event on Winter 16th, players can purchase Red Cabbage seeds from the Magic Shop Boat, also priced at 100g.
Red Cabbage is needed for the Dye Bundle on the Bulletin Board Bundles in the Community Centre , and it rewards players with a seed maker. Players can craft it by using 25 Wood, 1 Gold Bar, and 10 Coal.
Red Cabbage in Year One
While obtaining Red Cabbage in Year One is notably rare, it is still possible. However, the odds of doing so are relatively low.
